Spezialvorlesung
Network and Software Security (Modul INSS)
In this class, you will learn basic cryptographic techniques and algorithms. Further, you will learn fundamentals of computer security, with a particular focus on network security and software security. Overall, you will gain proficiency in state-of-the-art security techniques and protocols. You will learn the groundbreaking theoretical and practical tools to allow you to build, analyse, and assess security applications as desired from academia and industry nowadays.
Cryptography is an elementary component of many security applications. The first part of the lecture covers foundations of cryptography. We will study common encryption schemes and digital signatures. In the second part, we look at how cryptographic algorithms are used to design practical network protocols, such as IPSec, TLS, or Kerberos. Other basic network security components such as Intrusion Detection Systems and Firewalls will be covered. These are off-the-shelf solutions to protect against network attacks. Finally, we will look at application-layer and software security. After covering the essential design principles for secure systems, we will investigate the most prevalent security vulnerabilities, such as SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting and Buffer Overflows. For these vulnerability classes, we will cover the underlying programming problems, the resulting exploitation techniques, and the applicable remedies.
